Hiya,

OK, shallowness... Lets give it a try...

Apart from answering this post (or actually the other post; the one which was an answer to my earlier post which was an answer...and so on...) I am watching (catching glimpses) of a movie on the goggle-box. A housemate is watching : Demolition man...not my cup of tea.Am not all that much into Sly Stallone.My favourite is Sean Connery.
Anyone else?

Walk in Light /|Star*

Sure, prefer Sean Connery for Stallone - at least most of the time. Once in a blue moon, a really just-action-no-think flic is fine...

On the other hand, I'm just now listening to Fleetwood Mac...

!

I dunno, I couldve read all the other posts, but hey why bother.
Im currently watching the simpsons. But right now Im being far to shallow to follow it, and trying not to think. so ill just retreat into my vegitative corner and look at more effectiove ways to cheat at video games or something. Bye

Well hello all.

I spent the majority of the afternoon successfully avoiding work.

Have just enjoyed a great curry *slouches, looking sweaty and feeling pigish and hot*

Now I am typing and listening to Propaganda 'wishful thinking'

Another Brunel convert

Right now I'm debating with myself about the tasty sausages in the fridge. They're supposed to be for tomorrows dinner, but... hm...

...now I have 2 large Bouvs drooling on my bare feet, wanting the piece of cheese that....is gone

Hi All

Well I have just been handed a huge pile of post at work so I had better do some work.

pedboy

I think it must be a feature of all pets that they scrounge food from us!
Our three cats use tactics that an army would be proud of (and generally using claws). One of them even scrounged some curry the other night

turvy

swallow, is that an english, or american swallow your talking about?.

Joking. Shallow is not deep. Like me...

I'm intrigued in a sort of shallow and superficial way...

What is an american swallow?
I can think of at least three definitions of swallow in english.

turvy

--so lets get really shallow.
some very shallow thoughts, that I swiped from somewhere(cause I'm shallow)

And to answer your question turvy, the sound made is sorta like "gulmp"

God bless this last posting, the conversation, the site and you, Pedboy, and your wife, and the two spoiled veebles.
Funny how some shallow reading can cheer up and brighten one's day.
And this magic of laughing, the more mysterious, the more efficient for me.
I need go out and find some food but somehow I feel reluctant to move right now. Who will win - hunger or laziness?

Let me remind me to remember this conversation so that I find it easily next time.

What a wonderful idea to write about shallow things, very refreshing.

Thank you very much milkchocolate, I have never been told that my degree of shallowness is a good thing.
Do you have anthing else to add to this conversation?
Ahhhhhhhhh.. just figgured it out. Your trying to be deep, and want to look on the other side of the fence. Well welcome to shallowville.
This is how shallow I am, I think this page is very funny. http://www.vickysjokes.com/funny/endofnet.asp
hehe, Do you agree(try not to be too deep with your answer please)

pedboy

If there is not already a Minister of Shallowness you should be it!

That site has got to be the sickest I have ever seen!

turvy

Was it that bad? Was it that deep? Did I tell your degree of shallowness was a good thing?
Come on, it is just fun. I liked so much that question about the swimming and whales. One who can post this, should be more welcoming. I found this page yesterday, I registered today, went straight to this conversation, felt good and just shared it. Why is this cold shower?
I can't go to that page but still I have some guesses about the degree of your shallowness. It is a decent and comfortable degree, a degree I hope does not disappoint those who are coming here. So let's be shallow and give peace a chance, huh?
Thanks God it is Friday.

A couple more for pedboy to add to the list:

Why is there only one Monopolies Commission?

If whales are so clever, why do they swim near Japan?

W of M

"Lower than pondscum." That was how an ex of mine described me.
Beat that!!!

And I welcome you to h2g2 milkchocolate, I did not mean to get off on the wrong foot. Just havin fun ona friday!!!

I knew I was not wrong about u.
Having fun on a friday is pretty good thing but how about a blue Monday.
I haven't seen a whale so far in real life but I wouldn't mind seeing one. Perhaps I should go to Japan.

You can see lotsa whales not far from my home, no need togo far for that. The Bay of Fundy, has several whale watching tours(and the worlds highest tides). It is about 2km from my home. So stop in on your whale watching vacation, we always have the tea on.
To be perfectly honest tho whale watching is kinda boring, like watching porno flicks. The first sighting is exciting , but after that you ask youself...is that all they are gonna do??
